Philippines’ first Winter Universiade representative

Figure skater Misha Fabian will become the Philippines’ first-ever competitor in the Winter Universiade when she competes at Krasnoyarsk 2019.

The 20-year-old, whose best performance was third at the Asian Junior Figure Skating Championship in Hong Kong in 2015, attends the Ateneo de Manila University in Quezon City.

The Federation of School Sports Association of the Philippines selected her to compete in the women’s figure skating competition in Krasnoyarsk, becoming the sole representative of her county at the Universiade.

Sharing the announcement on Facebook, Fabian admitted she was “honored and humbled with this opportunity for God and country”.
